Application filed November 29; 1915. Serial no. 64,050.

To all whom it may concern "Be it known 'that'I, ARTHUR Tnnw, a citizen of the UnitedStates residing 1n the city of Portland, county of Multnomah, and

State of Oregon, have inventedce'rtain new and useful Improvements m, Pneumatic Card-Distributing Machines, of which the following is a specification.

- My invention relates to card dis tributing machines of the general character. referred to in my pending applicatiom'filed February 4', 1915, Serial Number 6,159; "The broad ob ject of my invention is to provide practical machines fo rapidly and a'ccuratelyassort- 'ing and distributing card's, tickets, and the 7 like, from'a container into aseries of receiving. pockets, or receptacles. To do this rap} idly and accurately, without providing specially prepared cardserequires that the cards in the container be so supported that foremost card, or the one to be" next ejected, must be exposed to the view of the operator,in.order thatfthe operator may see I from the card itself, at a glance and before the card starts on its way, into which receptacle the card should o. The mechanism must also be direct acting; with means for manually controlling'the same,asby means of a key, lever, or the'like, with such connec-' members, which'are pneumatically operated, with a manual control. In order that others may clearly understand myinvention, Ihave illustrated one practical embodimentvthereof in the accompanying two sheets of drawings which I will now describe. 4

The. feed-rollers 33, 3.3.; 1 and 33, and the beater me'mbers; 10,. 451"" and s1"; are driven together in,v the proper. directions by means: off beltsj end 1 intermeshingq gears,

whiCh. I \?vi'll 'new. describe. A belt 14, passes around a drivepulley e5, thence. up over, guide. pulley,46, thence around the pulley 32,.on the. lower end of a shaft 31, which carries feed rollers, 30, at its upper ,end. Said belt then passes againstv a pulley dil ig. 3, upon the lower end of; a shaft 31, which carrie feed roller-'33., at its upper sea; thencearound a pulley e8, upon the 'low.er end? ofa ShaftJiQQmOuntQd between the topa kandjthe shelf 3.; thence toand around pulley4'3, upon- 'the' lower end of a V shaft, 4.0, which drives: the beater 41";

thence to and around a pulley 50, mounted upon the; lower. end of a. shaft 51, mounted .between ,,the. top. 4;, and the Shelf 3, and. directly behind the shaft 40", in Fig- 2. Said beltnext passesaround a guide, pulley 52,

supported. from the under. side of the shelf 7 3; and'thence. over a guide pulley 53, and I .ba kto. thedri'vin'g pulley ,v i The driving pull'ey45, is mounted upon shaft 54', supported in bearing standards 55,

upon the lower shelf 2, said shaft 54, being driven by means of a pulley 56, and a belt 57,-f-rom-a motor pulley 58, of? a m'otor'59. {Thus the feed rollers'30, are driven by the belt 44:,aroun'd its pulley 32. The. feed roller 33, is also driven by'the beltpassing 1.5 i beater 41, upon the upper end ofsaid shaft against p y 7E" The first beater is driven through 8 mountedon its shaft lO, and in mesh with-a gear 60,

mounteduponthe shaft 19, whichis driven by thebelt passing around its pulley 4.8. The feed roller 33, upon the shaft 34, is driven through the gear 36, which meshes with the gear 60, upon the shaft 49. The

V1 40", is driven by the belt aroundits pulley 43.. From the gear 12;, on the same shaft "40, is driven an idle 'gear' 61, interposed ed feed roller "between thege'ar 4325 andthe gear 36, the

latter of which is mounted upon the shaft 34", upon the upper end. ofwhich is mount 3. The beater 41", mount,- ed upon the upper end of the shaft to",

is driven by the gear 4 mounted uponthe-same shaft,- and in mesh with agear 62,

upon the shaft 51, which is "driven by the.

pulley 50. These driving connections can be followed-by reference. to Figsil', 2 and 8. I will next describe the pneumatic mech- *anism by means of which the ejectorldg and: the switch members 25, 25. and 25",

are operated from a' common keyboard.

Mounted upon the lower shelf 2, isan air compressor 65, driven by a belt 66,'running over a driving pulley 67, mountednpon the shaft 54, and driven from the motor 59, by the belt57, as-hereinbefore described. Said compressor is connected by means of a pipe 68, to a reservoir 69, in whichair under pressure is stored. From -thisgreservoir leads a suppl y pipe 70, which connectswith the under side of anair box 71, as indicated in Figs; 2,3, 4- and 6. Said air box71, is

provided near'one end with a-"partition 7 2,

having a valve controlled opening therethrough with a valve 7 3, seated therein, said valve. being operated by means of a rod,74=, which is also provided with a valve 75, adapted ,toclose an outlet, orexhaust open ing 7 6, in the-end of said air box. The valve member 7 3,-is held normally closed by means .of a coiled spring 77,fmounted*in-a casing 78, upon the partition '72, as clearly indicated in Fig. 6. From the end of the air box, which is partitioned off by the partition 72, is an air pipe 79, extended to the lower end 18, of the ejector lever 16, as indicated in Figs-2' and 3, said pipe being provided 60 in its endwilth; a plunger 80.,"Fig. 10, adapted to'be forced outwardly by air admitted to said pipe 7 9, for operating said ejector lever 16, andby meansof-which the ejector-"14L, is actuated for ejecting the foremost card from the card carriage 8. A spring 81, connected-atone end to the lower end 18, of said'ejector lever 16, and at its other end to a fixed member 82, operates to normally re- "turn said ejector lever 16, and the ejector 14,

totheir normal, or inoperating, positions. Referrmgnow to Fig. 6, I Wlll describe the key control ofthe air supply from said 'air box 71, tothe different switch and ejector operating mechanisms I I Fig. 6 is a-vertical, sectional view on line 6-6 of Fig. 1.." Theair box 71, is mounted beneath the intermediate shelf 3, while a key box, or casing, 88, is mounted on top of said intermediate shelf, or casing, as indicated in Figs. 1, 1 and 6. Slidably mounted within said key casing 83, is akey-holding plate 84, suitably supported upon posts attached thereto at one end, and at its other end attached to the inner side'of the key casingpas indicated in. Fig; 6, for the purpose of holding said key-hold- 'ing plate 8 1, in its normal position.

ih Iountedihrough said key casing,iare aplurality-of operating keys 87, 88, 89 and 90,

said keys being provided 9n the under side of'the top of said key casing with shoulder portions 87., 88 and 89, adapted to engage the top ofsaid key casing, and thereby to 7 limit the :upward movement of saidkeys,

said shoulder portions being curved into cam surfaces at their under sides, as at 87".

-85, and provided with a spring86,

88 and 89*,whereby as anyone of said men-"V tioned keys is depressed, it will operate through-itscam portion to move the hold ing plate 8 1, longitudinally within the key casing and in doing so will operate a rocker lever 91, pivotally connected to the under side thereof, as at 92,, and at its lower end connected to the valve rod 7 1, in the end of theair box 71. Thus the movement of anyone of the keys last mentioned, operates to open the valve member 73, and close the valve 75, in the air box 71, to admit air into I the end portion of said air box and-through .the 'pipe7 9, leading to the operatingplunger 80, Fig.v 10, which actuat'es the 8180601 14. The keys 87, 88 and 8 9, are also provided at the opposite sides of their stems with small shoulders" as 87?, 88 and 89, which operate :to' prevent any of the keys being depressed awhile one key down. This will beevident from the drawing, as shown in Fig. 6. Each sageways from the air box 71, as follows:

Key 87 operates a valve93, in a valve cas- I 1'ng'94, mounted upon the air box 71, and connected with an air pipe 95, extending to the first switch member 25, in the card receptacle 19, as will be understood by reference to -Figs. 1 and 6. Key 88 is connected,

at its. lower end to a valve member 96, 111a.

valve casing 97, mounted upon said air box 71, and having connected thereto a plpe 98,

.which extends to ;the switch 25, inthe entrance of card receptacle 20, and the lower end of key 89, is connected to operate a valve member 99, in valve casinglOO, mounted upon said air box. 71, and having connected thereto a pipe 101, eXtended to the switch fmember 25", in theentrance of receiving pocket 21. It will be understood, of course,

that the switch ends of the pipes 95, 98 and 101, areprovided with a'plunger, as shown in; Fig. 10, adapted to engage and move the switch members 25, 25 and 25, when air is admitted to their respectlve pipes: by the operation or" their respective keys, the

plunger in pipe 101, being shown in- Fig. 1,

to be extended in position to open the switch member 25". It is-also to be noted that the curved cam surfaces 87*, 88 and 89 of the key stems 87, 88 and 89, terminate at their upper ends in little shoulders on the right hand side of the key stems, as shown in. Fig.

.6, and below the shoulders 87, 88fand 89',

which shoulders catch under the plate 8 1,

whenanyone ofsaidikeys is. depressed, and in orderto be released, the plate. 24, must i be slightly shifted-to, the right. Y

I will next describe twomethods of domove said plate 84:, sufficiently" farther to r the. right to release the depressed key. How

ever,I have provided automatic means, con.- trolled by the passing of a card for shifting said plate 84;, sufliciently to release. the key immediately after each card passes'its switch member. From the top of the reservoir 69,

is a pipe 102, as shown in Figs: 2 and '3,-

which extends along underneath the top 4 and the several switch members, shown. on an enlarged scale in Figs. 7' and 8, and at each switch member said pipe 102, is provided with a short branch pipe 103,- constituting a valve casing with a valve member .104. moving. therein, and adaptedto be onerated by means of a lever 105, attached to the lower end of a rod 106,.rotatably supported at its upper end in a bearing; plate 107; mounted upon the upper end of theback wall 24. Mounted upon. said rod 106, is an operating prong-like member 108, which proiects through the guide member-25, on eachof the switch plates 25, in a position to be engaged by a card passing along said guide. members 25*, when said switch mem- 'ber is'in the position shown dotted lines in Fig. 9. As the card'engages this. prong member; 108, which is secured to the rod 106,

it operates said prong member, so as toturn said-rod 106, and to move the little lever- 105, inwardly, so asto pressvthe valve member 10%, inwardly, to'openair communication from thepipe102, to a return pipe 109,

which terminates adjacent the operating lever 91, 7 near, the controlling box, .as indi cated in Figs. 3andi 6, andis provided with .a plunger, similar toJthe plunger 80, shown in-Fig. 10, for. moving said-lever 91, so as to further shift the holding plate 84, to automatically release. any of the keys whichmay be down, in the manner which Will be clearly understood from Fig, 6: of the drawings. A spring 110, Fig.8, operates tohold the little lever 105, on the'rod106, which carries the card tripping prong 108, in its normal position.

- ,Theoperation of the machine may be briefly described as follows:

Assuming that the motor 59:, isrunning, :the belt. 44, and the several intermeshing g gears, are driving the feed rollers *29',

33, 3.81 and 33", and thebeate-rs 4:1, 41' and. 141'. the small rollers35, 35 and 35", being I held inv yielding engagement withthe larger feed rollers 33, 33 and .33, are driven thereby; The cards, or-Itickets, to bathe-- nis tributed have been placed in" the carriage 8, in the manner clearly indicated in Fig. 1.

The pressing of the first key. 8.7, for-example,

operates-to shift the key plate 84, rocking the leverOl, so" as to open thevalve 73, and close; valve 7 5, in the air'box 'T 1,. whereby to admit air to the pipe 719,. which is provided in itsv end with the plungerf80, which operates theiej'ector: lever 16, and the ejectorfl l, .which engagesthe-front, orforemost card in the container, immediately behind the glass front 13, ejecting-saidcard, or ticket, sufit ciently for'it to be .engaged'by the rollers 30.29 ,which pass: it on to the other rollers I.

33.35. The pressing of the key 817, also simultaneously moves the. valve member 93, downwardly so asv to closethe upper end of the valve casing 94,- and at the. same time ,open communication between the. pipe 05, 1

and the air box 71. As said-{pipe 95,- is extended to the firstswitch member 25, and has-a plunger in *its: end, similar tothe plunger construction. shown in: Fig.1=0, it

will be evident that said switch member 25,

will be. moved across. the passageway. leading from the card carriage so that the first card will be directedinto the first pocket, or re;

eeptacle, 19, the beater 41 therein heating it back against the 'diagonall yr positioned gravity follower 23. .As said cardpasses along the. guide: members 25* and into said first pocket. shown more. clearly in Figs. 7 and 9;, it strikes the prong 108', and momen tarilyopens the jvalve 104:,in the valve casing 103, whichconnects the pipe 102, from the air reservoir with the return p1pe 109,

thus admitting air pressure from the reservoir tosaid pipe 109, which operates ltS.

plunger against the lever 91, Fig. 6,sufliciently to move the key plate 84, for the purpose of releasing the key 87 which, when pressed down, was held down by reason of the engagement of its shoulder with said key,

plate 84, as hereinbefore described. Thus with the operation of any oneof the keys, 87, 88 or 89, the valve-73, is opened to pass air under pressure to the plunger which operates the e ector and at the same time air under pressure is admitted to the p1pe leading to the switch member corresponding to invention to these details,'except as'I may be limited by the hereto appended claims.
